Career fairs –
Career fairs are events that enable various employers to provide information to students. SaskTel attends various career fairs throughout
Saskatchewan. Some of the fairs are for elementary schools
where students can learn about exciting technology and
what education to pursue for future careers. Other fairs are for high school students where students learn about job opportunities and the importance
of attending post-secondary school. The post-secondary school
fairs cover co-op employment opportunities as well as career opportunities upon
completion of their post-secondary education.
